I’d fix my large, crooked nose if I knew 100% that the outcome would be perfect. Since that’s impossible to be sure of, I’ll probably never get it fixed. So yeah, theoretically I’d do it.
I’ve considered a boob job for over twenty years now, and I’m finally to the point where I know I will never do it, and that’s okay.
However, I look at my mother’s face and I see how her eyelids are starting to sag over her eyes…I don’t know if I can make peace with that. Or what about this pouch under my chin? I could fix that! Maybe I’ll just think about it for a few decades and then it’ll be okay.
I would certainly consider it for repairs to a major injury, but not for any other reason. There is no way on earth that I would willingly submit to the needle and the knife just for cosmetic reasons – I have issues with those things at the best of times, so just going in to bob my nose or tighten my skin is out of the question.
When I was younger, I would’ve said, “Hell, no!” Nowadays I wouldn’t mind not having the loose skin on my stomach from having had kids. Still, even that flaw isn’t enough to spur me on to having plastic surgery. It’s kind of unsightly and I probably won’t wear a bikini again in public, but it’s not something that would make me stand out in a crowd.
So, yeah, I’d have plastic surgery. Maybe. I certainly don’t look down on people who do. If it makes them more confident and they can afford it, more power to them.
Have not had it. No plans to, but I could see being willing to have some kinds: one of those facial-resurfacing thing to get rid of residual acne scars (fortunately minor) and “refresh” the skin a bit; also if I ever pulled of and kept off the extra weight I could see having some of the excess skin trimmed. Hell, if I lost all the weight I’d trip over my own flaccid gut.
I’d do it. There are a couple of things about myself that I’d really like to fix. I’m not trying to look younger–just more in line with my self-image. If I had the disposable income to do it, I’d go for it.
If it were no-risk, sure. I would love to move my boobs north a little to where they were pre-kids. I would love some injectables to fill in some of my grooves and wrinkles. And if I ever develop the turkey wattle that some people (in my own family) do, I am getting it in a heartbeat.
If there was a guarantee that it was painfree, good results and zero cost … sign me up for a new body (especially after reading the responses from the men to the hot vs ugly thread … I’ve got no hope of getting laid ever again unless free plastic surgery is available!).
I was born with a very weak chin, it seems to run in my family. I wasn’t too concerned, but then I broke my nose and now I had a funny looking nose along with the weak chin. It was not a good combo. The ENT who saw my nose set it and said to come back later and see if we needed to do anything else. I was seriously pissed when it healed kinda crooked and had a bump on the bridge, I wanted it back to normal ASAP.
I spoke to multiple doctors and had multiple consultations with plastic surgeons. I ended up going with a surgeon who does a lot of reconstructive work as well as cosmetic work. I chose him mainly because his portfolio was great. He didn’t give everyone who came in the standard nose-job nose, he gave them a nose that fit their face. At first I was not sure about the chin, but seeing what he did for others made me want to have mine done.
He did a sliding genioplasty for my chin. Instead of just putting an implant in to give it definition, he cut a horse-shoe shaped piece of bone off my lower jaw and re-attached it higher up to provide a more natural contour. He also did my nose at the same time. The nose was refined where it was crooked and fixed to get rid of the bump. While he was in there, he trimmed my turbinates and fixed the deviated septum.
I am 4 yrs post and could not be happier with the results. I told only a couple of people I was getting the chin done, everyone else I just told I was getting the nose fixed. I was not even fully healed when a friend (who I told I was getting the chin done too) told me that the surgery “opened up my face” and wanted the name of the guy who did it.
Bad plastic surgery is the surgery you notice. You will never notice good plastic surgery.
I used to be adamantly opposed, but now I have the beginnings of my mother’s eye bags and don’t like it at all. I might get them fixed if they get significantly worse and if I have money. I’m kinda paranoid about it turning out badly though.
